Stander (2003): White South African top cop turned breakneck bank robber during the most brutal part of apartheid. Played by the phenomenally charismatic Thomas Jane, directed by the quietly brilliant Bronwen Hughes. It reminds one of the best of the 60s and 70s noir movies, with a 21st century ambivalence about good and evil, and it lasted less than a week in New York City. The music is hot, the art direction wizardly, and the attention to detail spectacular. Sort of Donnie Brasco meets Catch Me If You Can, with a political center. See it, see it, see it.
P.S. Thomas Jane. Naked. Several times.
